RESUMO

Information Organization involves the processes necessary to the construction and management of documentary systems from an informational point of view. Inside Information Organization, we find Descriptive Representation, which is focused on documentary systems information records and their access points, in their relation to aspects of formal description. In order to achieve functionality, documentary systems records are expected to possess features that guarantee the adherence between the entities and the information needs they seek to represent. The main hypothesis of this study is that it is necessary for us to reclaim and reinforce the intellectual aspect of the process of generation of documentary systems information records. This way, the present study aims to contribute to the re-signification of Descriptive Representation as far as the development of models of documentary systems information records is concerned, in the context of Information Organization as a set of fundaments, methods and instruments for the construction and management of documentary systems. Keeping that in mind, an exploratory research was done about the concepts and documentary processes that cover the knowledge about Descriptive Representation, with the objective to identify, characterize and discuss their nuclear, defining aspects. Considering that information records exist as coherent structures among themselves, based on document typologies and on the prediction of information needs, we can conclude that Descriptive Representation, together with Thematic Representation, is concerned with the form and the content that constitute the records structure. These representations are therefore responsible for the development of models of information records, in the context of Information Organization, the activities of which are related to the construction and development management of documentary systems.
